Choopan defeated Samson Dauda at both the Arnold and Arnold Classic UK. Dauda finished third, behind Choopan and Derek Lunsford, at the 2023 Olympia. It will be a loaded show once again in Men’s Open with many contenders for Lunsford’s championship. After Hadi Choopan’s performance in Columbus, there were talks of it being his best physique ever on stage. He followed it up with a victory in Birmingham, UK.
